Dockerized development environment

A dockerized development box based on centos 7, with Python, Java, JavaScript (nodejs), Ruby, and some often-used tools.

Currently installed:

• python 2.7.5
• nodejs v6.11.3
• ruby 2.4.1p111
• openjdk 1.8.0_144
• groovy 2.4.9

Please feel free to open feature requests and pull requests if anything reasonable is missing.

Direct use

docker run --rm -ti ouyi/docker-centos-dev 

or

docker run --net=host -w "$HOME" -e USER_NAME=$USER -e USER_HOME="$HOME" -e USER_ID=$(id -u $USER) -v $HOME/home_$USER:/$HOME--name some_name -ti ouyi/docker-centos-dev

On Fedora 25, I had to either use the --privileged option or sudo setenforce 0 to get around permission issues.

On macOS Mojave, I am using the following command to run it:

docker run --dns-search mydomain.com -p 8000-8020:8000-8020 -w /home/ouyi -e USER_NAME=ouyi -e USER_HOME=/home/ouyi -e USER_ID=$(id -u ouyi) -v /Users/ouyi/home_ouyi:/home/ouyi --name centos-ouyi -ti ouyi/docker-centos-dev:1.2.2

Use as a base image

Create a Dockerfile similar to this:

FROM ouyi/docker-centos-dev
MAINTAINER username

RUN echo "Installing more stuff here."

RUN useradd username
WORKDIR /home/username

Build it with:

docker build . -t username/centos-username

Run it with:

docker run -u username -v $HOME/home_username:/home/username --name centos-username --rm -ti username/centos-username

You can attach to the container as root:

docker exec -u 0 -it centos-username bash

You may want to change username to whatever name you prefer.
